The storage ottomans in the bottom and the top are the Kano set of two storage boxes. V33198

Boy does that feel better! And there is still room in the big storage bench on the floor for some of my Christmas decor!

Hey....Did you sneek into my house and take that photo??? Because if you did, and I get home and find an organized closet, we are going to have some serious words....about that you can do tomorrow while I'm gone. OK???

@Mominohio, I have that same storage bench. Aldi's $20, what a bargain and holds so much.
Good job on the organizing.

I made a big mistake with those Kano storage boxes on the shelf....I didn't begin to order enough of them.

I got two sets today, and within a half hour of opening them, I ordered two more! The ones with the zipper in the front (bigger one) are so easy to access and get what you need out.

I wish they put zippers in the front of all of them.

I'll be doing the top of my bedroom closet (which is pretty much just like this one) when those arrive. Our closets are small by today's standards and this really made a huge difference in the look, organization and amount of contents I could keep. Love them!

@Mominohio I need to do some of that also. I don't like things out of place, but sometimes I just can't get myself to do it.

We still have a Christmas tree to haul to recycle, have to get the ornaments and lights off first. It's always such a mess, needles everywhere. I'll be smiling when it's done. We just aren't at the point of getting an artificial one yet, just love the smell of a real tree.

Will tackle closets later. Right now I need to finish up our company books for accountant, make the appointment and get all that stuff into their office. Hopefully, won't need to pay additional $$ this year, fingers crossed.

Need to set up new files for 2017, move 2016 out of the office, maybe I can find our daybed once I accomplish this. Have many things on that bed that need to go to charity.

Have some Christmas returns to make, get some new things and try to find a place for every gift we keep. Oh my!!

Good luck to you.

Ha! You crack me up! And I'd be glad to come over and do yours next! I think I got it down now!

What a inspiration @Mominohio! Looks really nice and neat. I like it!

@Mominohio. I have a set of the Kano boxes. I have 2 more sets coming. I have decided to put my purses in the large boxes. The front window will give me easy access and I can see what is in each box. One is complete. I used the dust bags to isolate each purse. They will go on the top shelf in my closet as well. Now I will not have to hunt and read the tags I put on each dust bag draw string. Can't wait. I have already found purses I forgot I had. Nice shopping in my own closet.

I have gifted the Ottomans. They use them for toy boxes for their grandbabies. I have the smaller storage box for office supplies under my computer desk.

@Gram W

I used to love a good handbag, but these days, I only have four, and they aren't expensive. But I did use one of the large zip ones for my purses and wallets (I have a whopping two of those!!LOL) and I like that they are easy to access as well. The one in the middle is a zipper box and it has our hats, gloves, and ear wraps. Again, really easy to access things.

I could easily become addicted to these!

Looks good. I have two sets of the Kano's. I put them in my linen closet. Looks like night and day in there.

I could not believe how many I had when I got them all together. Some go back to the 60s and 70s. I purchased on clearance then and thought they were expensive. Just goes to show they were a great investment. I am retired so I have given the large totes to my DIL and her DIL. They love them for work and meetings. I kept a couple for flea markets, auctions and antique malls. I am sorting small crossbodies for the younger girls. My DIL will have the job of sorting them someday so why not share them now.

I am also sorting and logging my jewerly. I will share those with my girls also. At 72 it is amazing to see all I have collected over the years, even pieces from my mother and grandmother. Going to look at antiques it is amazing to see prices on items especially when you have the same at home. I have never had a lot of money but I was raised in a loving family and that is priceless. I suggested that family get things appraised before selling them.

@Mominohio

What time can you be here? I'll be happy to take you to the beach to relax when you're done!!! Lol

Wow! Great job! Where did you get storage box (top shelf) - and great idea with the ottoman.

Just dropped off 3 boxes of "unused" clothing & decor I'm no longer using.

@homedecor1

Oh my! You have no idea what a trip to the beach this time of year means to a person hating Ohio winters!

I'd clean your whole house and do the laundry and have supper ready when you get home!

Those storage boxes are from here. Item #V33198

@Mominohio

Heck girl we're hitting the beach to sit on that beautiful sand and relax in our cabana AFTER I take YOU as my "professional" shopper!!! 😁😁😁😉😉

I love your taste, your home is so cozy & inviting!

After seeing your organizing and pics I just pulled all the boxes out of my guest closet (I keep all my glass/ceramic pieces for all seasons in original boxes - takes up lots of space) I'm going to get a clear storage box, wrap & mark them. Tomorrow project!

Today, I'm exhausted after being away 6 weeks (hubby & kitties home) I thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom. Hubby was like "I kept house clean" guess that was 1 sweep with the swiffer!!! Lol. As you can see my kitty is exhausted from watching me!!!

You do keep my OCD going!!! Come on down the guest room is ready!!!

Impressive! And,I admit I'm a bit envious. How long did that take? You've inspired me to at least give it a try.. the organizing. Yikes!

I love the before and after shots. Looks very nice; you've inspired me. I am still at the never ending decluttering stage for my linen closet. I think I'll check out some products here and see what might work for me.
